A family member recently went to Washington DC to attend a concert
by some group on tour. When I asked my wife, who was the group, she thought it
was something like Princess Snowflake. The last time my family member attended
a concert it included well-known rappers. Princess Snowflake is hardly a name
for a rapper.
Princess Snowflake sounds like a character in a Disney
animated movie.
The actual tour headliner was Alison Wonderland who is into electronic
dance music (edm). She is an Australian DJ, a classical musician and a trained
cellist. Her stage name has a certain ring to it, and is hard to forget.
This exposure to “edm” got me thinking about what’s in a name.
When you call upon the name Princess Snowflake, I can’t help
chuckle. It’s a fun name with political overtones and an unlikely name for a
serious musician
.
When you call upon the name Alison Wonderland my writer side
kicks in. The “Alice in Wonderland” tie-in is clever and impressive. I hope my
writing could be as unique.
But there’s more. Some name you call upon can have life
changing experiences far beyond a fleeting laugh or a clever play of words.
"Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be
saved." (Romans 10:13)
Have a blessed day, enjoy a good laugh, and take time to hear the music.
